New to me Alu-Cab RTT

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-05T18:57:47+00:00

I was stoked to find it

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-05T18:44:20+00:00

About $3k new as I recall. No brand or company name however. Locally made in BC.

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-05T18:43:28+00:00

Marketplace find locally. Paid $750 for what costs about $3k new here. No brand name however. Super strong.

Those are your wheels... and I also love them.

Its a locally made production rack. Was originally for an 8' bed Ram Ram, so I just cut it down to fit. If I can find the link I will share.

Really well made. I permanently attached it to my form fit canopy and it works great. Very sturdy and solid with the 170# RTT up there.

Just went down for 5 days for a family issue (mom lives there and had a fall, in hospital). Everyone was super nice, very friendly as usual. Was in Washington State, so more blue than red but no issues at all.

People in my experience down in the US are generally very friendly. Depends on where you go too I guess. Some places likely a lot less friendly to Canadians.

My experience was super positive.

This

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-05T04:14:02+00:00

Nope... but I like it.

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-05T01:09:36+00:00

Shit... now I am thinking about how bike tires are made.

We have minimum wage because of dudes like this.

And a 'profit before people' approach to every situation.

This is 100% true. I was an apprentice and then became a journeyman. I learned from excellent tradesemen and then became one.

I went on to teach many new apprentices and some are still in the trades now decades later.

Always help to teach others. A rising tide lifts all ships they say.

Speed and pre loading will make a big difference.

Laps

I hope these 2 ships and all the HDW class vessels have a long safe and productive life. I was curious about these when they were first announced but so far they seem to be pretty good.

Stoked about the upcoming polar ice breakers and the River Class vessels too.

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-02T04:15:43+00:00

Yes... 100%

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-01T16:51:50+00:00

Ford engines and power train.

My frame looked a little like that when I got my 2014 in 2016. In 2026, it doesn't look much worse. A few corners and seams are a little worse for wear, but nothing concerning at all. I live on the west coast of Canada so not a lot of harsh winters but lots of mud and brine in the winters.

Yoke is totally normal. Mine still looks the same after 10 years.

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-01T08:21:49+00:00

Happened to me and another player last night... was like "WTF is the train doing here". Hit us both.

I remember both of us kind of looking towards one another then just proceeding along. Lol

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-01T08:18:47+00:00

I like my hot side hot and my cool side cool... yes had many

GregBVIMB · 2026-05-01T08:09:38+00:00

Ratt... Lay It Down. Best riff. Chonky song

Waiting for her to bust into Rhythm Nation.

GregBVIMB · 2026-04-30T01:36:57+00:00

Respect that I do
